Who will win this year’s tournament and which style of football will prove to be the winning style? European precision, African flare, or South American skill or Asian organisation, who take your fancy this year and who will you place your World Cup bet on?
World Cup betting odds favour the Brazilians, especially given their record of 5 tournament wins throughout the history of the World Cup. However, better value might be found elsewhere with the tournament being held in Europe, a good show must be expected from the home nation.
Of the European teams, value World Cup betting can be had on Germany. Their odds of going all the way are favourable as history points to the fact that 6 out of 18 (that’s one in three) World Cup tournaments have been won by the hosting nations. Is their squad strong enough this time out though to win the World Cup?
Maybe this is the year of Africa and with Drogba’s Ivory Coast leading the charge, they may be a good outside bet to surprise everyone. The recent African Cup of Nations demonstrated the strength and depth that now exists in African football and they could provide a return on your World Cup betting, especially considering the number of their players now playing their football in Europe.
Of the South American teams, Brazil are the team to beat again and with the likes of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Kaka in their ranks, many will back the current holders to retain their trophy. However, defensively the Brazilian team may prove too weak so better value 2006 World Cup betting opportunities could exist elsewhere. Australia in particular are looking like exceptional value to get out of their group and in Kewell and Viduka have both the firepower and class to trouble many of the big boys.
